2 color forum

Templates have been driving me mad. All I want is a 2-color forum - green (#008000) and yellow (#ffff00). No matter what I do it doesn't work out as some items of one colour on one page are the colour on another. Before I spend tooooo much time on this can anyone confirm whether they think it should be possible to do this without changing lots of source files?

Thanks in advance.

He IS making his own.

@tonysab: Make sure that the color stuff in Settings.pl correspond with the template colors Smiley
  

Code
Select All
unless(0) { stab("LoonyPandora"); next; }

Thanks for your replies, yes I have tried making my own, as I mentioned the problem appears to be that it works ok on some pages but others you end up with the background and font being the same colour, therefore I've had to start changing the source files to use other classes from the template which I don't really want to do.
I just wondered if anyone else has tried this with any success.

Is there a way we can have a preview of this template of yours?

I wasn't asking for anyone to make a template, the question was "does anyone think it is possible to do", a yes or no or maybe would have been ok, based on all you guys' experience.

Possible?  Yes.
Easy?  Nope. 

The default behavior when you're reading messages is for the backgrounds to alternate between two colors (light blue and white), and for the text to remain a constant third color (black); with the text color reversed on some headings. 

If you were willing to allow a neutral third color (such as #000040) to the mix, you'd have much fewer constraints.   (Incidentally, why are you using such a strong shade of yellow?  Are you trying to destroy retinas?  Have you considered #FFFFC0 instead?)

Finally, if you come up with a successful two-color version of YaBB; I'd be interested in knowing what all you changed.  I can definitely see how a black-and-white YaBB could be useful in direct-to-print applications...

Many thanks for that Heath, that kinda confirms what I was thinking.
If I decide to continue with the 2-color theme and get it working I'll post the details back here.
Thanks again.

You can get a 2 color board with BgColor Bugfix Mod and for example the following CSS:

Code
Select All
<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* General layout */
A:link        {
                font-weight: normal;
                text-decoration: none;
                color: yellow;
              }
A:visited     {
                text-decoration: none;
                color: yellow;
                font-weight: normal;
              }
A:hover       {
                text-decoration: none;
                color: yellow;
                font-style: normal;
                text-decoration: underline overline;
              }
